Merry Christmas one and all, if you celebrate that is. And if you do that means you’ve opened all your shit and are here looking for something else to get into. Well, choice cuts are slim seeing as it’s the last week of the year BUT White Death has you covered with black metal and Fall of Gnosis will scratch your death / doom itch along with a small handful of others that you’ll have to find immediately below. Thanks for checking us out this year and we’ll keep bringing you the new releases we know of in 2024. In saying that, if you’re a band or label that wants an upcoming release or releases featured in this column get in touch via email or over our socials. You can find the magic address on these pages and please include AT LEAST band name, album name, release date, and genre…please. And of course an album download helps as well if you are also asking for more than just inclusion here. Or else just skip the getting in touch part altogether. Cheers…
